Forums to display under deadlines in Snap

We've been using the Snap theme for a while and our students are constantly missing forum deadlines because they don't display in that menu under 'My Courses'. This is mainly because the forum itself doesn't have a due date in the activity.

Some of our forums are assessed, and as such require a final due date. It makes sense that students expect all of their deadlines to appear under a heading titled 'Deadlines'. I tried adding a course event to signify the due date but it didn't display under Deadlines

Hi Emily, we discovered that if you have Activity Completion turned on in your courses you can add an Expect Completed on deadline to your discussions that will display in the Upcoming Activities and in the My Courses section of the dashboard that displays the deadline. One caveat to this is that there is no way to set the time due so the assignment is automatically set to midnight of the day you selected. Which can cause confusion to some students if there is a time items should be due. In our institution we have items due by 11:59pm on a specific day, and therefore the midnight timeline pushes the deadline to the next day, or causes the discussion to appear late on the day we set it. It might be worth a try if you don't have those deadline expectations. Hope this helps!!!

I so hoped this would be the answer but it still doesn't display under the Snap Deadlines menu <cryface> It IS however, more of a platform to stand on for me to ask the powers that be if this is an oversight

Oops you're right. Neither Advanced nor Moodle Forum discussions are appearing in the SNAP menu. Even though they are now appearing in the calendar and on the Dashboard. Pablo Borbón This might be a bug with SNAP that you should consider for development!!!

Hi guys, just wanted to provide an update on this: The ticket has been created and the UX team will take a look on it to see how can we bring it to Snap's deadline section. We'll keep updating as we progress.
